Pretty superficial and doesn't really say anything negative as far as I can tell, other than that people couldn't rent their homes while the Olympics went on and some random street vendors felt ripped off? I know a ton of folks who took vacations to all sorts of places for two weeks while renting their homes to Olympic visitors. I think this is a newspaper seeking a story representing a specific point of view and the story is pretty weak and lacks specific examples or backup. Not to say it was 100% roses and everything went perfectly - it did not. However, having been born and raised in Atlanta, and having lived here during the Olympic bid, during the Olympics, and after - I can tell you it had a very positive impact on the city - despite what some sour grapes Chicago newspaper may be trying to say. -Camero ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
